Just type in "Pill Bug" and behold! A glorious list of sellers ready to part with their precious bugs. Price check is a must!
Sometimes, people get a little *too* enthusiastic with their pricing. Don't be the poor soul who pays 10,000 gil for something worth 100. Ouch!

These locations are low-level and easily accessible, making them perfect for anyone. Even if you're just starting out, you can be swimming in Pill Bugs in no time!
The Grand Company: A Scrip-tastic Solution
Feeling a little… official? Then head to your Grand Company headquarters!
Yes, you can purchase Pill Bugs with Company Seals. These are earned by completing various tasks for your Grand Company, like completing supply missions or participating in FATEs.
This is a great option if you have a ton of Seals burning a hole in your pocket. It’s like getting free bugs! Sort of.
The Retainer Ventures: Send Your Minions to Work
If you're feeling particularly lazy (and who isn't, sometimes?), put your Retainers to work!
Send them on Hunting Ventures to the La Noscea regions. They have a chance of bringing back all sorts of goodies, including, you guessed it, Pill Bugs!
It's a completely passive way to acquire them. Just set it and forget it. Think of it as your own personal bug-gathering empire.
